About Meritus Texas

A Unified Force in Industrial Gas & Welding Supply

Meritus Texas represents the strategic unification of four premier industrial gas and welding supply partners across the Lone Star State. Formerly operating as Mitchell Welding Supply, Meritus Gas North Texas, Gulf Coast Gas & Equipment, and Airco Gases Southwest, these established companies now combine their strengths under the Meritus Texas brand while honoring their rich individual legacies.

Our Collective Heritage

Each partner brings decades of specialized expertise to Meritus Texas:

Mitchell Welding Supply, founded in 1968 by Benson Mitchell, has proudly served the DFW Metroplex for over 50 years. What began with just four employees evolved into a regional leader with locations in Seagoville, Garland, and East Texas, known for adapting to cutting-edge technologies while maintaining exceptional customer service.

Meritus Gas North Texas operates from Saginaw and Springtown, with the Springtown location’s history dating back nearly a century as Ward Welding Supply before joining the Meritus family. This partner has long combined large-scale capabilities with personalized local service.

Gulf Coast Gas & Equipment established itself as the premier provider of industrial gases, welding equipment, and engineering services across the Gulf Coast region from its Houston location, building a reputation for reliability and customer-first solutions.

Airco Gases Southwest, founded in 1989 as Welders Warehouse, expanded through strategic growth to serve the Greater Dallas-Fort Worth area from locations in Denton, Dallas, Waxahachie, and Caddo Mills before partnering with Meritus in January 2024.
